What did the Ancient Egyptians look like in your opinion?


Depends on how ancient.

I think the 1st-century Egyptians are largely the same as today's Coptic Christians. They can demonstrate their historic and familial continuity from the 1st century until now and there's no real evidence that I'm aware of for any major migrations that would account for a radical change in either direction. Since the Coptic Christians are the ones that refused to convert to Islam, any influx of Arabs after that point would only have a minor impact on their line.

Now, Coptic Christians themselves are pretty diverse, and you can see ones who could pass for black or mixed as well as ones who could pass for Saudi or White. Especially the ones from the south and/or Sudanese border are darker than the ones from near the sea.

Before the 1st century? It's hard to say. That region was already mixing a lot with people traveling all over the Mediterranean for hundreds/thousands of years before the 1st century, so I would believe it if 1st century Egyptians were already more mixed than earlier Egyptians a few thousand years before. I believe that they've sequenced some mummies and found them to be reasonably similar to modern Egyptians, but that's a small sample size and I can't say I've studied the issue in depth.

HIStory is such a wild thing because they'll sit there and tell straight up lies and fabrications with a straight face that most will accept without question.

Tomorrow people, where is your past?

The net just takes it to a whole nother level of fake fakeness being accepted as the real thing and its wild because we were around enough to tell the difference but these new jack jits are 1s and 0s since inception and thus accept it.

Some of them did.

Ancient Egypt was the first metropolitan civilization. all roads led to that place, it was as diverse as any modern day melting pot like New York or LA.
travel and immigration isn't some new shyt. people act like it was an isolated island like japan with a homogenous population. not the case.
Japans not homogeneous the Ainu people were they before they did a hostile take over. Most Egyptians probably look like their East African neighbors, they probably all look like some variation of habeshas
